Motorola Xoom Now Selling Through Optus

Want to get yourself some of that fancy honeycomb action on the Motorola Xoom, but don’t want to go with Telstra? The good news is that as of today, the Android tablet is now available through Optus.

Pricing starts at $0 up front on a $60 data plan over 24 months, which includes 10GB of data to use each month. You can opt to pay over 12 months or 24 months with either monthly device repayments or an upfront fee, but you can’t buy the tablet outright, unfortunately.
